My main reason for beginning this journal is to organize some of my thoughts, hobbies and photos into one place. I am very "hands on", so I'm not sure this will be easy for me. I like to hold a pen or pencil in my hands and write, draw or scribble on pieces of paper. Better yet, I love writing on a brand new, cutesy notepad or in a fresh, clean journal. Hopefully, this will become a "home-place" to collect different things that are important to me.

Create your dreams every day...

Yummy Cupcakes from Pinterest...

I had so much fun making these cupcakes, the recipe and directions are from here...I used the recipe as a guide, mixing up the brownie mix and the strawberry cake mix exactly as stated on the back of the mixes...

It was very helpful to use my small cookie scoop from Pampered Chef for the brownie mix, one scoop was just right...and it kept me from dripping cake mix all over the pan (which I usually do!)

After filling the bottoms with brownie mix, I added two scoops of the strawberry cake mix...the recipe states that it will make 48 cupcakes, I must have filled mine a little fuller because my batch only made 36...

Having less of the brownie mix helped the cupcakes bake evenly, normally the brownies would take a bit longer to bake than just plain strawberry cupcakes...

Here they are, ready to go in the oven...please don't judge me by the looks of my old, stained, cupcake pan:)

And, boy oh boy! they smelled divine...

I added some frosting after they cooled and sprinkled some cute little red candy lips on top that I found at Hobby Lobby...
